The condors are huge! The rock formations along the trail are pretty neat, but the highlight for me was going through the cave. The top can be low in some places so you have to watch your head and wear a headlamp or be close to someone who has one.

We did this hike in the rain, so it was pretty muddy in some places. Part of the trail is paved, so if you want complete dirt paths in the forest, this might not be for you. However if you're looking for a relatively easy trail, this one is good. There is also a nice view when your on the hillside.

It's a fun little hike where you get to climb down some rocks to the water. There are also lots of rocks in the river to walk on.

Situated in the South Bay, Manhattan Beach offers miles and miles of beach break. The majority of the waves are closeouts but the occasional gem can be found. Be aware, this is a very crowded surf spot so practice your etiquette.

This wave can get very heavy but is also very fun. Ocean beach on a good day is a world class wave.

This hike is all about the view, which can be seen along almost every part of the trail. The trail itself is not that interesting. Lots of cow, constant uphill, nothing but unshaded switchbacks until you get near the top. Then its a climb over rocks.

Great spot for beginner surfers on the south side of the beach near the river mouth. It gets bigger on the northside.

Fun little novelty wave, with probably the most gorgeous backdrop in surfing

This hike gets very, very crowded, but the views of the glacier are worth it. The trail also has some nice spots for reflective lake photos.

This is a nice detour when going on the Sequoia trail. All you have to do is listen for water, look at the signs, and cross the road to get to the falls. It adds a nice touch to the sequoia trail, as that one doesn't have any waterfalls.

It's a fun little hike with lots of rocks to climb on. Before getting to the rocks, there is an overlook for a waterfall that barely trickles. I've hiked this trail 4 times, and I think I've only seen water there once. The view on the rocks after the waterfall offer the best views of the hike. After that, its all uphill and bigger rocks to climb on. One side of goat rock is used by rock climbers. The other side, hikers and climb up. There are many other rocks along the trail that are climbable.

The views on this trail are really nice. You can even climb down to the beach.

I didn't get my hopes up for seeing sea turtles, since I know nature and animals can't ever be guaranteed. But I shouldn't have doubted anything, there were so many sea turtles here. Do not get too close to them, there's a 10ft or so limit on how close you can get, but it really should be farther. The turtles get stressed out when people get too near. I saw a father going right up to a turtle multiple times in the water to take pics, and the guide lady told him to back away, but he never learned. Even his kid had the decency to give the turtles space.

This is a great snorkel spot. Lots of cool tide pools and fish to swim with. There are shallow spots for those who don't want to venture out too far. Climbing around on the rocks on shore is also quite fun.

This was our first real stop on the road to Hana (after getting some banana bread). The beach is easy to get to from the parking lot, and tends to get crowded so go earlier in the day. Most people are going to be stopping here on the way to Hana.

There are so many first time snorkelers here, please be careful of the coral and the environment. In scuba diving, we learn how to control our buoyancy so that we don't accidentally hit the coral. At Hanauma Bay, I saw so many little kids stepping on coral to take a break from snorkelling. If you need to take a break, either float or swim to a place with no coral and put your feet down on the sand bottom. Also, please use reef safe sunscreen.

It gets real muddy. And chances are, it'll be muddy when you go too since Kauai gets so much rain. However, the mud is not bad. Step directly into it, instead of trying to skirt around it because avoiding it is how you slip. The kayaking portion was relaxing, and the hike is not too hard. There is a fun little river crossing, and swimming in the falls is amazing.

This is a nice stop when driving around the park. It's not a hard walk, and is nice when paired with some of the other hikes in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It has some places for photographs, but overall would spend more time in the other areas of the park.

We saw a black bear (brown in color). It was so quiet, we didn't know it was there until it walked right out onto the trail in front of us. It looked right at us and started coming our way, so we started going back the way we came. Bear sightings seem to be common in Lassen, so learn about bear safety before you go. The hike is relatively easy, but because of the high elevation (we are from near sea level) it was a little more tiring than we expected. The boiling pots of volcanic activity are really neat to see.

We looked all around Lake Tahoe for campsites, literally anywhere within an hour drive would have been fine, and when a campsite opened up, we booked it immediately. It wasn't until we got there that we realized how lucky we had gotten. The campground is next to Fallen Leaf Lake, which is obviously much smaller than Tahoe, but is still enormous. It had all the colors, from light blue to clear to darker blue. When we went, there was a wind advisory, so there were waves on the lake.

This was probably the hardest hike I have done. The switchbacks with their loose and sometimes sandy rocks are hard to climb up, and scary to hike down. One person in our group brought hiking poles, and she really recommended them.

Yosemite always reminds me of LOTR, and the hetch hetchy area is no exception. The hike into the backcountry is not hard, until you have a backpack on. Then tying your shoes is difficult. The best part is going through, yes through, the waterfall. Just make sure your backpack is waterproof or put the rain cover over it. You don't want all your clothes staying wet for the next couple days.

Hands down my favorite hike so far! I hiked this in early April 2019. The trail had just been opened after a snowy winter season. Half of the hike was through snow, part of it was snowy muddy slush, and the rest of it that orange dirt that I love. When the snow melts and mixes with the mud, it looks exactly like thai tea. Every part of the hike has a new view, and each one is equally amazing. The hike itself is long, but I never got tired of looking around. The snow on the orange rock is just beautiful.

One of the best hikes I have ever done. My favorite views are actually of the snake like rockline in front of you as you are climbing the rope section. I wouldn't recommend doing this hike if there is snow or ice, as it's dangerous enough with lots of people trying to get around each other while holding onto a rope. Also, please hold the rope. Sometimes people will be "brave" and let go to try to pass other people. Just be safe.
